As I teased earlier, I’m currently evaluating a Fujitsu Lifebook T900 Tablet PC on loan from Fujitsu. I’ll be shooting some video of the pen + multi-touch system in action as well as of the general hardware. But since I have some quiet time now, I thought I’d spill some thoughts about the inking.

A study finds that people are more apt to lie in typed emails than in handwritten letters. That can only mean one thing: I, the father of ink blogging, am the most honest blogger on the Internet. Suck it, typist liars!
